Podcast | Snakes, rainforests and rock ‘n’ roll | Romulus Whitaker
Today’s guest is Romulus Whitaker, a renowned herpetologist and conservationist often referred to as the “Snake Man of India.”
Romulus shares his lifelong passion for snakes, conservation and the incredible biodiversity of India’s rainforests.
In this episode, we discuss what drew Romulus to snakes, especially the King Cobra, his experiences in the rainforest, and the significance of water and forest conservation.
We also delve into how Romulus started several conservation projects, including the Agumbe Rainforest Research Station, and the importance of inspiring future generations.
Finally, we also discuss his new book, Snakes, Drugs and Rock ‘n’ Roll, which tells the story of a boy who would become one of the greatest conservationists of his generation.
It’s a fascinating, insightful and inspiring podchat.
Enjoy!
